Have any of you experienced anything since he passed? Hopefully this doesn't sound too outlandish, but I do believe in signs and things of that nature. Just yesterday I was listening to Lady Cab Driver on my way home from work. I was stopped at a light, and soon as the light turned green I sang aloud "Lady Cab Driver.." happened to look over to my right and sitting there was a bright yellow taxi cab. I don't live/work in an area where Taxi's are a "thing" at all. It's like they don't even exist here, so to see one would be very strange. I did the hardest double take of my life, thank God no one was in front of me or I surely would have hit them. I just thought it was the strangest thing. Made me smile but it also made me quite emotional.

My normal appointments for friday got rescheduled. Leaving me with a day off.

That thursday the only thing in my mail was a marketing magazine for a shoecompany, called NELSON.


I could mourn and cry for that whole friday without having to cancel any appointments. That was nice.

I was thinking of making a similar thread myself. I would like to know if anyone else experienced anything similar to this:

Last Thursday I was feeling great and was relaxing with my gf. Out of nowhere my stomach suddenly dropped and a wave of fear and anxiety came over me. It was so strong that I told her about it. I couldn't breathe properly. I had to lie down and calm myself but something didn't feel right and the feeling lingered.

A couple of hours later I went onto the internet and the news broke - there it was, those words I still can't absorb.

After being glued to the screen I found out the time difference between the UK and Minnesota. Could it have been around that time I had that ill feeling?

I believe that we are all connected. Prince's music touched my soul.

Thank you for reading. My thoughts are with you all.

Wow, I'm with ya. I believe we're connected as well and I don't believe that was a coincidence. Thank you for sharing!

Lol, ok here ya go... So the day after Prince's death, I was using the restroom stall at a local grocery store and I see a quarter on the ground. Something immediately hit me, like this quarter was there for me a sign / symbol. A very strange feeling...tough to describe. Being that all I could think about (and still do think about) was Prince's death, I wondered if his spirit put it there. So I thought to myself, what would be a clear sign that this was intended for me...And I thought, if the coin is from / dated 1984 (purple rain)! I figured what are the chances. So I pick it up (tails side was facing up) and alas it was from 1984!

Surprised you didn't think of Deuce and a Quarter

I woke up on Thursday morning with a fully formed song in my head. I dreamed the whole thing in the 3-4 minutes immediately before waking up. That's not something that happens to me. It was called "Days of A Life".

"I was dreaming when I wrote this...."

I'm considering it his final gift to me.

It's very, very weird that this happened and I get shivers thinking about it. If you look at my Twitter, you'll see I even tweeted about it that morning. And this was some 6 hours before the news broke that he had left us.

Okay so this probably sounds crazy too..

The other at work feeling so sad i though to myself 'wouldn't it be great if he was around somewhere and I could just see him'.

Hard to put into words but I can only say that I had an image of him leaning against the door frame smiling in that smurky kind of cool way he did.. it was really quite vivid.

But lovely too.

I love reading everyone's experiences. I had a very weird/interesting dream when MJ passed. In the long run it kinda helped me know that he was ok and everything was gonna be alright. So I hoped whenever Prince passed (did not think it would be so soon) that I'd get that same kind of reassurance. Even after my little experience though, I'm still not ok. This is going to take a very long time to get through. And I say through instead of "over" because I simply will never get over this.

I had a purple buttonup that I wore to the only time I got to see Prince in concert. Went out drinking with friends and put the shirt in my bag so I didn't get anything on it. I heard the news, went to get my shirt... and it wasn't in my bag. I hope Prince has it.

I started slicking my hair back 'Parade' style about two weeks ago. Why? i don't really know. I just fancied a change. My wife said "I always liked your hair that way". It's given me a headache since!

.

Now, I'm not bullshitting but we married on Valentines Day 1996 and I had the same hairstyle (maybe my hairline was an inch further forward dammit!). Check your dates in Prince history. Pure coincidence.

.

We woke up in our wedding suite the next morning, put TV on and we were so surprised what had happened in MPLS.

On 17th April I had an urge to listen to post 1990 - 2000 stuff so made two playlists aftern ot having listened to any pronce for a few weeks.... was really enjoying the 1990 - 1995 list early on the 21st and really feeling great that Prince was still around to make music...... I still think it was a bit spooky that I should make those playlists on that week..

Nothing strange really but I had just signed up on TIDAL once again solely for Prince so I could listen to his music and get exclusives. I had signed up initially months ago because of Prince but canceled my subcription a while after because I was unhappy with TIDAL. A few weeks before Prince's death, I decided to sign back up on TIDAL. Lately, I had been listening to the "HitnRun" phase one and two more than ever and had an obsession as of lately with "1000 X's & O's" in particular.

Then after the news about P's plane making that emergency landing, I began to feel very nervous for Prince. Even after it was confirmed that he had the flu and even after he performed in ATL, I didn't feel like all was well with him. I tried to shake the feeling and wanted to believe that he was okay but I couldn't.

I work in IT so I know computers inside and out. The day after around 24 hours after "it" happened I was doing some work on my second monitor and something kept catching my eye on my first monitor to the left but I trying to finish up some coding and ignored it. Finally when I was done and minimizing some windows I turned my focus to the first monitor and some how the ribbon at the top of my Outook was engulfed in Purple and it stopped me in my tracks. I closed out of it after awhile and everything came back up normal and no matter how hard I tried I coudn't replicate the Purple again. Can't explain it but it brought a smile to my face and a certain comfort within.

It looks like we have all had moments before he passed. I will say when I heard his plane in Illinois I was shocked, and mad becuase the day before, I was near moline it never did sit right that he had the "flu" That day when I came back from getting medication for a cat I just adopted, who is really shy I kept picking him up and saying " I'm going to make you love me" Just as a joke, I had forgot morris says in in purple rain until mt mother reminded me of it. A few days later I went to the grocery store and almost picked up capncrunch and I told myself it was silly to purchase it just because of the prince song. The day he passed away I was out to eat with my mother and we were talking about how crappy music is now days and for whatever reason I mentioned that a few years ago Justin Timberlake released futuresexlovesound and he had a song that reminded me so much of prince and I liked it just for that reason. When I came home I saw on the news about the possible shooting at PP and a friend called me a few moments later to see if I was ok, he told me prince had passed away.

The next day, I looked up in the sky and the cloud pattern from the Raspberry Beret suit appeared.

I feel weird saying this but, there was a dove cooing outside my window a whole week before Prince passed. The day after his death it stopped and I haven't heard it since.

Really makes you think.

I've been a Prince fan since the 80s but never dreamed about him until March of this year. He was playing on the piano, a melody to the gospel song "God is so Good, he's so good to me". However, he changed the lyrics as he banged out the melody on the piano. Thy lyrics he sung to me were "love is so quick, it's so quick,quick,quick!". Normally, when I have strange dreams, I know that someone will pass away. I usually look them up in a dream dictionary online. However, I never imagined that it was him. It just didn't even cross my mind.

I had all the lights off in the house, except in a hallway. As I was walking through the hallway crying, I said, "Baby, no, you can't be gone! Tell me you aren't gone!" As soon as I said that, the three light bulbs in the ceiling fixture all burned out at the exact same time, leaving me in complete darkness. I remembered Prince singing "So Dark" at the Atlanta concerts. Strangely, it gave me some comfort, because the odds of all 3 bulbs burning out at the same time is highly unlikely, and I just felt that perhaps I was being reminded he was still here with us and he was letting me know that he wasn't gone.

I said a prayer, asking for a sign. Today, I found out that our security badges are changing for the first time in over 20 years, effective June 1st. They will now be purple. I'll take it.
